The two main pyrometallurgical methods used for nickel extraction are: 1) Nickel Smelting: Nickel smelting involves the heating and melting of nickel concentrates or nickel-containing ores along with fluxes and reducing agents in a furnace. The aim is to separate the nickel from the other components, such as iron, sulfur, and other impurities.
The EHS Guidelines for Smelting & Refining cover information relevant to base metal smelting and refining of lead, zinc, copper, nickel, and aluminum. It does not include the mining and concentration of the raw materials, which is covered in the EHS Guidelines for Mining. Annex A contains a description of industry sector activities.
The Canadian nickel smelting and refining industry consists of three companies which smelt and/or refine nickel. The nickel smelting operation transforms nickel concentrates into crude metal, vvhile the refining operation upgrades metal purity. Nickel is principally recovered from two types of ore: sulphide and latente.
Operating as a major nickel sulfate production base. The Harima Refinery used to be a smelter of zinc, lead, indium and other metals since it began operations in 1966. Currently, the plant is transformed to a refinery producing nickel sulfate, which is used as a raw material for rechargeable batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.
A similar flowsheet is used in Terrafame's nickel sulphate refinery in Finland. See Figure 1 for a block flow diagram of the new refinery flowsheet. ... to meaningfully increase North America's battery material supply chain capacity without the need to construct new smelting or complex primary refining capacity.

The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of higher-temperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the …
For sulfidic ores, the production process typically includes mining, concentration via flotation, smelting, and refining to produce pure nickel and nickel compounds. This method is efficient for high-grade sulfide ores, allowing for the recovery of nickel with fewer environmental impacts compared to lateritic ore processing.
